Advocacy – Organizing – Accountability

The work
continues.

Reconstruction Action drives issue advocacy, voter education, and political accountability in service of Black political power.

What We Do
Reconstruction Action is the advocacy arm of the Reconstruction movement. We do not ask. We organize, advocate, and hold elected officials accountable.

We are a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. We run issue campaigns on voting rights, economic equity, and political accountability. We educate voters on where their representatives stand. We apply pressure when they fall short.

The electoral work — endorsing candidates, funding races, running independent expenditures — belongs to The Reconstruction PAC. The research belongs to The Reconstruction Institute. The issue advocacy and organizing belongs to us.

About Reconstruction Action →
Voting Rights

We track, expose, and fight every voter suppression bill introduced across our target states. When legislatures move against the right to vote, we move against them.


Political Accountability

Elected officials who represent Black constituents are accountable to those constituents. We publish their records, amplify their votes, and make inaction visible.


Voter Education

Informed voters are powerful voters. We produce voter guides, issue briefings, and candidate scorecards for every major race in our target states.


Organizing

We connect individuals to campaigns, coalitions, and community organizations doing the work on the ground.

Priority Issues

What We Fight For

Four issue domains. One mandate.

01
Voting Rights

Every attempt to restrict the ballot is an act of political warfare. We fight it with advocacy, litigation support, voter education, and public accountability campaigns.

Voter suppression legislation tracking
Polling place protection
Voter registration drives
02
Political Accountability

Black voters deserve elected officials who answer to them. We publish voting records, track broken promises, and make the gap between rhetoric and action impossible to ignore.

Legislative scorecards
Accountability campaigns
Town hall organizing
03
Economic Justice

Political power without economic policy change does not close the gap. We advocate for the policy conditions that convert Black representation into Black economic progress.

Take Action

The work requires you.

Reconstruction was not finished by observers. It was built by people who organized, advocated, and refused to accept the status quo.
